CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: [Reporter: Some health experts say the U.S. needs 5 million tests per day by June in order to safely reopen.] “Well, it will increase it and it’ll increase it by much more than that in the very near future. We’re way ahead of everyone on testing. We haven’t been given the press — in terms of, I think, fairness of the press — but that’s okay…
We are way ahead on testing. We are the best in the world on testing. We’ve tested much more than anybody else, times two — or every country combined…
[W]e’re going to be there [5 million tests per day] very soon. If you look at the numbers, it could be that we’re getting very close.”
